The Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemns the overflight of the airspace of the Republic of Moldova by a Shahed type drone, last night, in the Cimislia district. According to the institution, such incidents constitute a serious violation of the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, reports IPN.
“The Republic of Moldova strongly condemns these actions and denounces the war of aggression waged by the Russian Federation against Ukraine, which brings suffering, losses and destruction in Ukraine and seriously affects regional security, directly endangering the safety of the citizens of the Republic of Moldova,” is stated in a press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Ministry reaffirms the state’s commitment to consolidate peace and national security, continuing all necessary steps, in cooperation with competent national institutions and international partners, to protect its territory and its population.
The Air Operations Service of the National Army detected last night the unauthorized overflight of Moldova’s airspace by an aerial object. According to the Ministry of Defense, the drone left the country’s territory in the direction between the localities of Ucrainca (Republic of Moldova) and Novoselka (Ukraine).
